This step allows you to search for candidates within the Talent Warehouse. If you have found a candidate suitable for the role or if its a job where the candidate is know you can apply the candidate straight to the job. This means the candidate does not fill out an application form.
- Click Show Criteria List to start your search by using criteria that has been developed based on the global questions in your system.
- You can search using data from the following talent search options:
a. Job – Data from the job details form.
b. Global Assessment – Data from the Global Assessment form (this can be located in the candidate card).

- To view the available Searchable Criteria for each category, click the Category title (in this example we will choose Application). Click Add on the field that you would like to search on.
- Select the talent search option answer(s) that you wish to search on and click Search.
Note: You can select more than one talent search option.
- The results will be displayed at the bottom of the page.
- If it is not necessary that the candidates must match a particular search criteria you can add the talent search option to the “could match” section. This will expand your search results.
Applications that match the “must match” and the “could match” criteria will be displayed at the top of the list.
To do this click on the arrow pointing down next to the criteria in the must match section. This will move it to the section below. - Click Search.
- The result at the top of the list matches all three search criteria.
Tips for ‘Keyword’ searches
When entering text in the keyword section, you can perform a simple query by entering a word or strings of words separated by commas, with optional wildcard characters. The eRecruit system treats each comma as a logical OR. If you omit the commas, eRecruit will treat the expression as a phrase.
The following table shows examples of simple searches:
Operator
Example
Search result
Normal
sales, business, development
sales or business or development
Exact Phrase
sales business development
the phrase, “sales business development”
Wildcard
engine*
engine, engineer or engineering
AND
engineering AND mining
engineering and mining
OR
engineering OR mining
engineering or mining
NOT
engineering NOT mining
engineering but not mining
When using operators (AND, OR, NOT), you need to make sure these are in UPPER CASE.
